Bonjour et bienvenue à Uzes!
A woman said to me, earlier this year: "The first time I saw Uzes I cried. It was wonderful to see a village so beautiful and ancient yet so alive and vibrant". I look forward to helping you experience the magic of Uzes!
To enter your apartment you walk through a huge oak door off a classically French cobblestone, pedestrian street. As you walk up to the first level of this ancient, stone house you will know you have found your own "home away from home" in the real France.
Your apartment welcomes you with the warmth of stone walls, beamed ceilings, elegant lighting and colors. You will find all the comforts of home with gas central heating, very well equipped kitchen and all the little touches that make a difference: guide books, traveling book library, maps, ideas from previous guests and a market basket to ensure you are equiped from your very first day.
Being south facing the apartment has excellent natural light and at 46 square metres it is very comfortable for up to 4 people.
When you walk out of the front door, you are in the very heart of the "old town". You can spend hours exploring the maze of little winding streets and historic sites, you could take a picnic to the river valley or just soak up the atmosphere of this town that has been declared a national treasure. The famous market on Wednesdays and Saturdays is at the end of your street. Cafes, patisseries, boulangeries, restaurants, hairdressers, banks are all within a few metres of the front door. Yet the apartment is tranquil and relaxing.
There is free car parking (open air) or paid parking can be arranged at our private garage just a few minutes flat walk away. It is great if you can plan your arrival on a Friday, to be there to enjoy the famous Uzes Saturday market, to get your provisions for the week and to begin to meet and get to know the locals. However there is no set change over date for the apartment.
I want you to enjoy your stay so I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the region or the apartment. Having traveled to France a lot (and often with children!) believe me - there are no silly questions!
I look forward to helping you enjoy a trouble free, enchanting stay in Uzes.
J'espère parler avec vous bientôt!
BY THE WAY.....
WE ALSO NOW HAVE A PRIVATE GARAGE FOR YOU, FOR JUST 40 EURO A WEEK. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON!
